2 Anaheim Gazette TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Kansas State New Menace To Kentucky, Aggie Rule NEW YORK (P)—Almost unnoticed in the seething, two-team battle between Kentucky and Oklahoma A & M for national basketball honors has been the steady ascendancy of Kansas State. The K-Staters are ranked No. 3 in the current Associated Press poll, marking their top standing of the season. Babcock Choice In Scoring Race Rex Babcock's 14-point spurt against Huntington Beach last Friday virtually put the Sunset league scoring crown away for him as runnerup Armand Nettles was limited to five here in Anaheim. It left Babcock 11 ahead with only two games to play. Glenn Griffith and Sheldon Welch protected third and fourth spots, respectively, with 11 and 10 points while Colonist Ron Paulkner made the greatest advance with his 18-point splurge against the Sailors. The top 15: Backcock, Santa Ana ... 117 Nettles, Newport ... 106 Griffith, Newport ... 98 Welch, Anaheim ... 91 Faulkner, Anaheim ... 85 Pennington, Fullerton ... 81 Schurch, Hunt, Beach ... 78 Seuss, Hunt, Beach ... 75 Peterson, Newport ... 74 The Kentucky Wildcats driving for their second poll victory in three years, edged out Oklahoma A&M again for the top spot. However, the rise of Kansas State is the high-light of the week's balloting of 119 sports writers and broadcasters. Just take a look at how it has moved up: In the season's fifth poll, the K-Staters barely made the exclusive Top Ten, holding down the No. 10 spot. Then, in succeeding weeks, they've advanced to ninth, seventh, fourth and finally, third. Jack Gardner's crew has won 17 of 19 games, including the last 13 in a row. Its only losses were to LSU and Indiana, the first by one point and the second by six. Currently, Kansas State leads the Big Seven conference with a 7-0 record. Kentucky, in leading for the fourth straight week, attracted 55 first-place votes for 1083 points. Oklahoma A&M drew $31 top ballets for 1019 points to finish only 44 points behind the blue grass lads. Kansas State pulled in 13 first-place votes for its word and urgency in the Mexican Open. Course Managers Rap Golf Taxes LOS ANGELES (UP)—Southern California golf course managers are booming a campaign against the proposed 20 per cent green fees tax suggested by the administration a week ago. Ceer Hollingsworth of Alondra Park and Bill Bryant of Fox-Baldwin and Rio Hondo have prepared a letter which will be presented golfers this week and next, urging them to bombard their congressmen with protests. “If this tax were approved it would be a case of taxing the performer,” said Hollingsworth yesterday. “The golfer does not attend a show or entertainment—he supplies the activity himself.” Public links provide a much-needed recreational outlet for war workers, he added. Rose Bowl Fate Set for Feb. 22 LOS ANGELES (UP)—Participation by one point and the second by six. Currently, Kansas State leads the Big Seven conference with a 7-0 record. Kentucky, in leading for the fourth straight week, attracted 53 first-place votes for 1063 points. Oklahoma A&M drew 31 top ballots for 1019 points to finish only 44 points behind the blue grass lads. Kansas State pulled in 13 first-place votes for 794 points. Then, in order, came Columbia, St. Louis, Indiana, St. John’s, Bradley, North Carolina State and Villanova. Kentucky, which has won 19 of 20 games, entertains Xavier of Ohio tonight. NC State, No. 9, plays Louisville, and fifth-ranked St. Louis, which moved up three slots, visits South Bend for a tiff with Notre Dame. Three of the top ten played last night, and tenth-ranked Villanova took a severe 71-54 drubbing from Seton Hall. Indiana, No. 6, kept pace with Illinois in the Big Ten race with a vital 63-54 victory over Iowa. Bradley, No. 4, whipped Wichita, 65-44. Bradley and Indiana each slipped three places. Columbia moved up two notches. St. John’s held its No. 7 position while NC State and Villanova traded places at the bottom of the list.

Commissioner Victor O. Schmidt issued the call for the meeting yesterday. The nine conference schools will each be fully represented by president, faculty representative and athletic director. The PCC let it be known last Jan. 3 that the conference was seriously considering withdrawing from the New Year's day grid attraction. Also on the agenda for the meeting: possible change in the eligibility rules during the national emergency, and drawing of a conference grid schedule for 1954. SPEEDY by K.F.

K-State Idle, But Just About Cinches Loop Title NEW YORK UP—Kansas State virtually clinched an NCAA tournament spot by remaining idle last night while over in the neighboring Big Ten a two-team dogfight for honors took shape. Kansas State, third ranked nationally, moved two full games out in front of the Big Seven title chase after Missouri cooled off Kansas in Columbia, Mo., 39-38. The Missourians used some of Phog Allen's own medicine—walting free throws in the last half—to hand Kansas its second league setback. Now K-Staters, however, must play a tough Oklahoma Saturday at Norman and have a Feb. 24 return date with Kansas. Oklahoma walloped Nebraska last night, 72-49. Wisconsin and Northwestern dropped out of the Big Ten title picture after suffering upsets, leaving the scramble in that fast circuit to Illinois and Indiana. Purdue put on a last-half rush to stun Wisconsin, 62-48, at Lafayette, Ind. Michigan State pulled an effective "deep freeze" on Northwestern in the last five minutes to prevail, 52-48. Illinois held to its thin conference lead by thumping defending champion Ohio State, 79-59, Indiana, No. 6 in the newest AP listings, downed Iowa, 63-54. Illinois has an 8-1 league mark, Indiana is 7-1. The major surprise of the evening was provided by Little Seton Hall which crushed tooth racked. DOUBLE CHECKING—Sugar Ray Robinson and Middle Champ Jake LaMotta will not be in a playful mood like this they clash for LaMotta's title tomorrow night in Chicago inson is rated at least a 3-1 favorite for the clash. PGA Broke Word, Says Mexican Open MEXICO CITY UP—The Mexican Golf association accused the United States PGA today of going back on its word and urged fair treatment for U. S. players entered in the Mexican Open tourna- PGA Broke Word, Says Mexican Open MEXICO CITY UP—The Mexican Golf association accused the United States PGA today of going back on its word and urged fair treatment for U. S. players entered in the Mexican Open tournament. "The PGA has no right to classify our national open," the body added in a formal statement growing out of the squabble over participation of U. S. pros in the Mexican event, beginning Thursday. The dispute put the severest strain on sports relations between uncle Sam and his southern neighbor since the famous jump major league baseball players slowed the border in 1946. The golf version of baseball's big jump produced this rather delicate situation: The PGA tournament committee told its barnstorming members last week-end at San Antonio, Tex., not to play in the Mexican open. The PGA said this isn't a championship event because entries are obtained by invitation rather than disqualification. Seven players, including Jimmy Demaret of Ojai, Calif., and former PGA champion Vic Ghezzi of New York, decided to play in the Mexican Open anyhow and promptly took off after the Texas open. The PGA announced disciplinary action, if any, would be withheld until after the Mexican tournament opens Thursday. If the U. S.ayers perform, they are subject fines or suspensions, or both. Others, besides Demaret and Ghezzi, who went south are Albrink of Mt. Clemens, Mich.; Morris Williams of Midland, Tex.; Jesel Snow of High Point, N. C.; any Holguin of San Antonio, ex.; and Stain Dudas of Shawnee-On-The-Delaware, Pa. Demaret is the militant spokesman of the U. S. rebels. "We came play and that is what we are going to do," he declared. Demaret said he and the other officers had made commitments to ed an effective "deep freeze" on Northwestern in the last five minutes to prevail, 52-48. Illinois held to its thin conference lead by thumping defending champion Ohio State, 79-59. Indiana, No. 6 in the newest AP listings, downed Iowa, 63-54. Illinois has an 8-1 league mark, Indiana is 7-1. The major surprise of the evening was provided by Little Seton Hall which crushed tenth-ranked Villanova, 71-54. Walt Dukes' 25 points were the major factor in upending a team that previously had won 18 of 20 games. Bradley joined Indiana, though, in preserving the dignity of the Top Ten as all 'other members of that select company were idle. The Braves of Peoria, Ill., led from start to finish and used 16 players in subduing Wichita, 65-44. Eighth-ranked Bradley, with an overall 22-4 record, still has hopes of overtaking Oklahoma A and M, second in the national list, for the Missouri Valley crown despite three league losses to none for the Aggies. Another startling development saw City College of New York's "Grand Slam" champions fall before Fordham in an overtime, 63-61. After early season injuries had cost them five defeats, Nat Holman's Beavers appeared on the comeback trail—with five straight wins—until they ran against Fordham. Long Island university, snapping out of its recent losing road trip, won its 140th straight game in its home gym by turning back Murray State, 90-87. The Blackbirds, who have fallen to 19th place, have an 18-4 mark. The Southwest conference race was tossed into a real snarl when Texas Christian downed league-leading Texas, 49-35, and Arkansas edged out second place Texas A&M, 45-38. The results left Texas and TCU tied for the top at 6-2. Harrison Garners Quick Two Grand SAN ANTONIO UP — E. J. (Dutch) Harrison, with more than $2000 added to his bankroll for winning the Texas Open moved DOUBLE CHECKING—Sugar Ray Robinson and Middleweight Champ Jake LaMotta will not be in a playful mood like this; they clash for LaMotta's title tomorrow night in Chicago;inson is rated at least a 3-1 favorite for the clash. Past Results, Jake's Vacation Keeps Odds High for Sugar CHICAGO UP—Heavily favored in his five previous scraps with Jake LaMotta, Sugar Ray Robinson again is backed from 3-1 to 4-1 to snare the Bronx Bull's middleweight belt tomorrow night. The welterweight champion, in the peak of condition, and LaMotta battle the scales at 10 a.m. in the official weigh-in tomorrow. Sugar expects to tip 154 pounds, his top weight, and Jake is confident he will make the 160 limit. He carried 176 a month ago before starting drills for his rival. If LaMotta is over 160, he will be given two hours in which to make the weight. If he falls, he will forfeit his middleweight title to Robinson right on the spot and the 15-round bout in Chicago sta-dium, starting at 10 p.m.little more than an eRobinson prescribed sleep for himself today.did not plan anything more than a walk in the shopping district in abiding decision to rest for five ceding defense of his crowns.

(Dutch) Harrison, with more than $2000 added to his bankroll for winning the Texas Open, moved on to Harlingen today for a crack at the championship of the Rio Grande Valley Open. Harrison, veteran of 17 years on the tournament trail, took his second Texas Open title in a span of a dozen seasons yesterday when he beat out Doug Ford of Briarcliff, N.Y., by a stroke in an 18-hole play-off. Ford was trying for his first major championship. The St. Andrews, Ill., old-timer to championship golf and the 27-year-old Ford tied for first place in Texas Open Sunday with 72-hole totals of 265. Yesterday, they got the thing over as quickly as possible. They played 18 holes in two hours and 10 minutes—a new record locally, at least—with Harrison fashioning a four-under-par 67 over dusty 6400-yard Brackenridge park course. RBI CHAMPS TIE AGAIN NEW YORK (UP)—The American league's 1950 battle for the runs - batted - in championship wound up for the second straight season with two players from the same club sharing the laurels. The co-winners were Vern Stephens and Walt Dropo of the Red Sox. Each drove in 144 runs. In 1949 Stephens and teammate Ted Williams tied with 159 RIB's each. Rated as a powerful contender in the trial is William Goetz' Gold Note. He was barely beaten by Phil D., in the San Felipe and gets in with 116 pounds tomorrow.

Now he says he will hold her for the Kentucky Oaks, a filly stake which is run at Louisville the day before the Kentucky Derby. Ruth Lily was jostled into the rail by Sweet Talk in the Santa Ana.

NY Law Makers Move to Demand Eight Count for Floored Boxer ALBANY (P)—New York’s Legislature moved today to reduce “butchery” and death in the prize ring by requiring a floored fighter to take an eight-count before a bout could be resumed. A bill providing a mandatory eight-count for each knock-down went to the Assembly, after receiving overwhelming Senate approval in the face of protests from Democrats. Before Senate passage last night by a 41-11 vote, Democratic leader Elmer F. Quinn said he would "like an opportunity to vote to abolish boxing in this state, the way it is being run by the State Athletic commission." He charged that boxing, "under present conditions" was "legalized murder" and "butchery." But the Republican majority leader, Senator Arthur H. Wicks countered that "boxing in this state is not so bad as it has been pictured." Wicks said the eight-count bill "alms to do what the majority leader has in mind" because he said, "it would help the boxer who was knocked down." Quinn led a brief but brisk floor protest in the Senate against the measure. Quinn referred to the late James J. Walker, who as a state Senator authored the state's boxing law three decades ago, and said: “If he were alive, and in this chamber, and had seen the atrocities with which the boxing commission has administered the law, he would demand an eight-count for Floored Boxer.” Kee's Vacation in for Sugar Win 盐ium, starting at 10 p.m. will be little more than an exhibition. Robinson prescribed a long sleep for himself today. LaMotta did not plan anything more strenuous than a walk in the Loop shopping district in abiding by his decision to rest for five days preceding defense of his crown. The fact that Robinson has decided Jake in four of their five meetings and that Jake is vacationing five days "to conserve strength after reducing" has kept the odds pretty near the 4-1 level. Both men seem to agree that their scrap will go the full 15 rounds and a knockout won't decide matters. Neither has ever been knocked out, and LaMotta hasn't even been knocked down. D. Top Choices up at Santa Anita Susana, Eric Guerin, who rode Sweet Talk, was suspended for 10 days. Guerin, who rides under contract to Alfred Vanderbilt, will be allowed to fulfill his stakes engagements, however. He has Good Loser in the Derby and Next Move in the San Antonio Handicap Saturday. Calumet Farm nominated four horses for the San Antonio Coal-town, Ponder, All Blue and Wistful headed the field of 22. It will be Coaltown's first start here. Others named: Next Move, Bernbrook, Blue Reading, Be Fleet, Deau Max, Special Touch, Akimpo, Last Round, Sturdy One, Frankly, Mocopo, Sudan and Vutan's Forge. Weight assignments for the San Antonio are expected today. Quinn led a brief but brisk floor protest in the Senate against the measure. Quinn referred to the late James J. Walker, who as a state Senator authored the state's boxing law three decades ago, and said: “If he were alive, and in this chamber, and had seen the atrocities with which the boxing commission has administered the law, he would never have introduced it because he was a kind gentleman.” Four Marks Fall In AAU Trackfest NEW YORK (P)—Four records—two in each division—were smashed yesterday in the National Men's Jr., and Women's Sr., AAU track and field events. John Ogle of Manhattan hurled the 35-pound weight 57 feet and ¼ of an inch, eclipsing the mark set by Steve Dillon of St. Francis last year and Kevin Delaney of the New York Athletic Club chased the mite in 4:19.8. The previous weight record for the weight throw was 55 feet 7½ inches and for the mile, 4:22.9 set by Pat Duffy of Manhattan last year. In the women's championships Jean Patton of Tennessee State broke her own record in the 100-yard sprint. Her time was :11.1. The other mark smasher was Catherine Hardy of Fort Valley State college. She reeled off the 50-yard dash in :06.3, shading Dolores Dwyer's time of :06.4 set in 1949. Manhattan scored 41¼ points to win the men's team title with Yale registering 19½ to come in second. Columbia finished third with 9%. The women's team title went to the Police Athletic League of New York which scored 38¼ points. The German-American A.C., came in second with 35½ points and Sandy's Club of Ohio third with 8½. The Yale swimming team is seeking its fifth straight Eastern Intercollegiate title this winter. STEERS CLEAR OF PENALTY BOX CINCINNATI (P)—Jackie Gordon of Cincinnati in the American Hockey League has a remarkable ability to stay out of the penalty box in spite of his constant hustle and aggressive play. In over 200 regular season games as a professional, Gordon has been sentenced for only three minor penalties, never more than one a season, for a total of only six minutes.
